A lovely bit of fun in which the two teams meet in a library, and there is world-threatening danger and the Doctor and Daniel bonding over bow ties, books and the promise of a visit to yet another library.

A note first: something odd has happened with the formatting in the first chapter – don’t be put off. This is a great story, note perfect for Illyria and Seven and the elusive quality of Angel as a show.

There’s a new menace in LA and it’s not the weirdo in the patchwork coat. It’s something shadowy and dangerous. That makes it the business of Angel Investigations, Wolfram and Hart – and a passing Time Lord.

I’m rather wary of DW crossed with fantasy, but again, this author writes such excellent fics, how could this go wrong? Severus Snape has encountered the Doctor in all sorts of times and places. A well-written, haunting piece.

Maybe my wariness is beginning to disapparate, but I like this. I like the excellent Four characterisation and there’s a DW logical reason for the existence of wizards on Earth. (Even if it doesn’t account for Ten reading the books, but Four doesn’t know that yet!) And it’s not an obvious character crossover, either.

Since Jon Pertwee played the ill-fated sheriff in Cowboy and it also starred Peter Butterworth (better known in DW circles as the Meddling Monk) and Angela Douglas (later Doris Lethbridge-Stewart), somebody had to do this. Really.
